Biographical Note on Verne Dyson
Verne Dyson (1879-1971) was born in Calloway County, Missouri, and graduated from Central
College, Fayette, Missouri. He started his career in journalism in 1907 as a feature writer
at the
Kansas City Star, then later the same year moved to Los Angeles to
work as a writer and editor at the
Los Angeles Times. Dyson became acquainted
with historian George W. Hazard, who hired him to edit a work on the history of Los Angeles
that Hazard had been working on for many years. Hazard died in 1914 before it was published.
Dyson acquired Hazard's vast collection of materials and photographs from his family.
Dyson stayed in Los Angeles until 1920, when he went to Shanghai, China to become dean of
Williams College. The following year he became professor of English and Chinese history at
the University of the Philippines in Manila. From 1940 - 1961 he served as curator of the
Walt Whitman Museum in New York, and founded the Brentwood, New York Bulletin, and the Walt
Whitman Quarterly. He retired to California in 1961 and died in 1971.
In the introduction to this manuscript, dated 1962, Dyson writes: "My study of the
California ranchos began in 1913 when I bought a large collection of pictures and historical
material from George W. Hazard, brother of Henry Hazard, an early mayor of Los Angeles… I
sold the larger part of the Hazard collection in New York City fifteen years ago [1947],
retaining all of the pictures and historical material dealing with the ranchos. Between the
years 1913 and 1920 in Los Angeles, I devoted much of my time to classifying the rancho
material and preparing a manuscript… I completed the manuscript recently, having been able
to concentrate on it after retiring from active life and coming to San Diego eight months
ago." – Verne Dyson, San Diego, May 27, 1962. (See "About this Book," Box 1).
Biographical Note on George Hazard
George W. Hazard (1842-1914) was a Los Angeles historian and amateur photographer. Between
the 1890s and early 1900s, Hazard traveled throughout Southern California photographing
locations of local historical significance.
Scope and Content
This collection contains an unpublished typewritten manuscript, ca. 1962, with 326
photographs, entitled "California's Romantic Ranchos: The History, Stories and Legends of
the Haciendas, with a Roll of the Rancheros, a Complete List of the Land Grants of
California, and Biographies of Famous Personalities – Spanish, Mexican and American," by
journalist and editor Verne Dyson (1879-1971). The photographs date from ca. 1868–1922 and
include adobes, early homes and towns, missions and prominent pioneers of California. There
are also 15 engravings and several printed illustrations and maps removed from other texts,
as well as a 19th century abstract of title - a history of A. W. Timms' land transactions on
Rancho Palos Verdes, California, ca. 1855-1878.
In addition, Boxes 6 and 7 contain 121 photographs that depict a variety of views of
Southern California with the "Hazard-Dyson Collection" stamp. These include photographs
presumably by George Hazard, ca. 1890-1914, as well as other late 19th and early 20th
century photographs by commercial photographers. In 2016, these photographs were removed
from the Huntington Library's Photographic Files (PF) and reunited with the rest of the
collection. The photographs retain the "photPF" call number on the back of the image.

Photographs, illustrations, and Rancho Palos Verdes title
abstract
Scope and Contents
The photographs are stamped "Hazard-Dyson Collection," which began as the collection
of George W. Hazard, and included many photographs Hazard made himself. Dyson took
over the collection in 1913 just before Hazard's death. Dyson then called it the
"Hazard-Dyson Collection," and began stamping the backs of the photographs with the
name. He also added some to the collection in the years after he took possession. The
illustrations include clippings, maps, drawings and engravings.
The photographs are mostly from the late 19th century, and many are uncredited. Two
photographers have been identified through research:
- George W. Hazard – There are 3 x 3-inch photographs by Hazard, ca. 1890-1914,
identified by the corresponding negatives that are in the Ernest Marquez Photograph
Collection (photCL 555). These have all been digitized and can be viewed in the
Huntington Digital Library.
- James B. Blanchard – There are several unmounted cabinet card-size photographs
with distinctive numbers and titles printed in the lower left corner – other copies
of the same photographs were found to have the imprint of James B. Blanchard, a
photographer active in Los Angeles 1890-1902, operating as J. B. Blanchard & Co.
(Source: Mautz, Carl. Biography of Western Photographers, 1997.) It is very likely
these photographs are by Blanchard, and they have been noted in the container list
below.
Other photographers, identified by imprints, are noted in the detailed box list,
below. There is one photograph of Verne Dyson, 1916, with Alice P. Williams, owner of
Rancho Dos Pueblos, in Box 3, Folder 28.

This series contains 121 photographs that depict a variety of views in Southern
California and include both 9 x 9 cm (3 x 3") photographs presumably by George Hazard,
ca. 1890-1914, as well as other late 19th and early 20th century photographs by

photPF call numbers was also pulled in 2016 from the Photographic Files. These are
housed in Box 7, Folder 3, and have been given consecutive item numbers (1-14).
Arrangement
The items are arranged chiefly according to their photPF call numbers (between photPF

size photPF items (photPF 10224 and 10442).
